5 Ways to Colour Change With No Fuss

Love colourful patterns? Hate the fuss? So do I. Here are 5 ways to colour change with no fuss! A while back, I started a what should have been a lapghan and turned out to be a toddler sized blanket, with three different colours. I was so excited! The colours looked great together and I was learning a new stitch. It was a crocheter’s dream come true.

I had no idea colour changing would be such a pain however. Colour changing was something I had done a bit of in the past, but this project turned into a nightmare filled with dozens of loose ends to weave in. I was determined to find an easier way to colour change my yarn. One day.

Since then, I’ve found some useful tips on how to colour change with no fuss. Keep reading on for more tips!
